bad poster!!!

so i have decided that i am bad at updating my blog. oh well.... Easter has come and gone and it was a great one filled with a ton of easter egg hunts between school, gym class, friends, and family maddie hit the jack pot. she LOVED to decorate the eggs which was so fun. I had the girls pictures taken and of corse they werent up for cooperating... oh well cassey did a great job and got some really cute pictures. We have been keeping busy with fun stuff... maddie is loving the weather and we are pretty much outside all day. Hallie is getting so big. she is almost 6 months old and such a chunk. i switched her over to formula and she has done so well and it has made life easier for all of us. she is rolling over all the time now and starting to scoot on her back a little. it takes her a while to get not very far but she loves it. She has enjoyed the few veggies i have tried but shes not so fond of cereal... she sleeps great and is such a happy camper. Maddie is so good at entertaining her. i love it. they will both get laughing so hard it totally cracks me up. I have been staying pretty busy with my new hobby of making bows and flowers. I have really enjoyed it. I am doing some farmers markets and craft shows this summer so it should be lots of fun.
















for some reason its not allowing me to post the pictures i had taken of the girls. i will work on it!

bow and flower blog

Hey everyone I updated my bow blog. check it out! www.stephssassycreations.blogspot.com

4 months....already?

well on the 10th was hallie's 4 month mark. she is doing so good. we took her in for her appointment and i couldn't wait until they wieghed her. she is sooo chubby. we also tried cereal this week. she did pretty good with it. she kept trying to eat her hands with cereal al over them. i forgot how messy they are! i love it! here are hallie's stats:
length: 24.5 inches 61%
weight: 14lbs. 10 oz. 73%
head: 40.5cm 37%
Maddie wighed 14lbs at 9 months not 4 months. its funny to compare the two. hallie is such a mellow spirit! maddie is still loving being the big sister! she is for sure in love with our few sunny days we have had. she loves playing outside and would stay out there all day if i didnt make her come in! she is really into princess stuff and playing pretendand puzzles. for about the last 3 weeks she keeps informing us there is a purple lion in her closet. he has big feet, he doesn't talk, and he scares her. i think she has seen monsters inc. a few too many times! other than that we are good just waiting for real spring weather and all the fun stuff to come with that!

flowers and hair bows

So having two little girls has introduced a hobby to me that I love. hairbows and flowers. I have been making them forever it seems like and decided I should start selling them. They are so cute and so fun! here are a couple pics of some that I have done. Let me know what ya think and if you are ever interested let me know. I can do about any colors and any sizs!

Here are some pictures i took the other day! Last sunday we went to ryan's parents house for dinner and his grandparents were able to come. it was a nice time spent with great family! maddie was so excited to eat she camped out in her spot for quite awile waiting for the food. In one of the pics of the girls you will notice hallie is screaming her guts out and maddie is picking her nose. how lovely! Last night we went to the aquarium in sandy. it was fun. maddie really enjoyed it. after that fun we went to the outback steak house and had a yummy dinner. it was a great out! we havent been out really since the holidays. so it was long over due. oh and hallie finally decided to roll over! yeah for the chubby baby.

us lately....

it has been pretty boreing around our house! maddie is way full of energy and makes me laugh so much everyday! hallie is doing really good. i have been taking her to a chiropractor 2 times a week and he has done an amazing job. her head shape is so much better and her neck muscles are improving so much. hallie turned three months old on the 10th. pretty sure she is going to out grow maddie! she is a chunk. i love having a chunky baby. she is so content and sleeps so well! she has had some problems taking the bottle so hopefully we figure that out soon. it makes for a long day when i'm at work. poor ryan! good thing its only once a week. here are some pictures of us lately... sorry pretty boreing!maddie has a hard time keeping pants up!being a scary monster

little miss hallie

"mom...i have idea..."

so tonight maddie was playing with her little baby buggy and a light bulb went on in her little head. she turned to me and said "mom i have idea! lets put baby in here." i said "ya your baby doll goes in there." then she looked at me with her very serious face and said " oh not my baby doll... baby hallie!" i had to explain that little hallie is fun to play with but not a toy. and she can't go in a baby buggy meant for baby dolls. she was a little upset but it was so cute! other than that we haven't been up to much! just loving life and spending a lot of time playing withe maddie and hallie. maddie is really into puzzles and coloring or painting! so that fills up most of our afternoons.. which is so fun. hallie's little neck is showing a little improvement i think.she is turning her head a little bit easier. i am seeing a pediatric chiropractor in the morning to see what he says.. i've heard it helps a lot. but she is getting so big and brings such happy spirit to our family! i love it. here are a few recent pics!
